Unable to mount dfs volume from Windows Server 2008 R2

I am trying to use Finder|Go|Connect to Server to connect to a DFS volume shared by a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. I get the following errors:
A dialog box that says, "There was a problem connecting to the server "server name". Contact your system administrator for more information"
Messages in the log:
PM kernel: smb_ntstatus_error_to_errno: Couldn't map ntstatus (0xc0000225) to errno returning EIO
PM NetAuthSysAgent: checkForDfsReferral: mounting dfs url failed , syserr = Input/output error
PM NetAuthSysAgent: smb_mount: mount failed to <server name>, syserr = Input/output error
I've seen a reference to this article (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3258472) to fix similar problems but that seems only to apply to Mac-based servers not Windows servers.
I called AppleCare but they said they are unable to troubleshoot a problem originating on a Windows Server.
The Mac is running 10.7.4 but the problem happens on 10.7.3 as well.
I can connect to non-DFS volumes from other Windows Servers with no issue.

After some more digging around I found out that it works when using the cifs: prefix instead of the smb: prefix in Finder|Go|Connect to Server.
So instead of using the name smb://servername.company.com I use the name cifs://servername.company.com.

Files Transfer from Windows Server 2008 R2 on Mac

Hi,
How can I transfer files from "Windows Server 2008 R2" on Mac? as now I am using 2 App (Microsoft Remote Desktop & Fast Remote Desktop) which allowed me everything but not transfer files on Mac, so any other recommendation or salutation?

Hi,
You need to configure folder redirection.
Folder redirection enables access local folders during the remote session. Click the + button at the bottom of the dialog and choose a folder you want to have
redirected.
Configure Folder Redirection:
1. Click the + button.
2. In the Add Local Folder window, enter the following information:
l
Name: Set a name for the folder to be available during the remote session.
l
Path: Select the path to the folder to be available during the remote session.
3. Click the close button to save the remote desktop.

How uninstall WSUS server role from Windows Server 2008 R2 with database hosted on remote SQL server?

Hello,
I'm looking to uninstall the WSUS server role 3.0 from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The thing is the database is hosted on a remote MS SQL server. I want to remove the database as well. I would like help for figuring out what I need to do to completely remove
WSUS and its database.
Any kind of help is appreciated! Thanks

Hi,
WSUS offers limited support for running database software on a computer that is separate from the computer where the rest of WSUS is installed. This section offers step-by-step
instructions for how to install WSUS in this configuration.
If you meet the uninstall issue with the normal uninstall, please post the detail information for us but if you just want to manage the WSUS related SQL data, you can refer
the following KB then delete corresponding database.
In the general procedure, you will create the related WSUS database as below::
Run WSUS Setup from the command line, using the SQLINSTANCE_NAME=servername\instancename command-line option, where servername is the name of the remote computer, and instancename
is the name of the SQL Server instance that you will use for WSUS.
More information:

Hi,

Hi,
I have done this but it does not work.
My network is configured as a NAT in virutalbox.
Also from WIndows server 2008 guest I do:
net use z:\\vboxsvr\mySharedFolder
Do I have to install additional software in host or do I have to configure something in Windows server 2008 guest?

Unable to configure BMR protection on Windows Server 2008 from DPM 2012 r2 server

We are trying to implement BMR and System State protection on our physical servers and have had issues when trying to set it up for a server running windows server 2008. I have verified that the DPM agent is up to date running version 4.2.1273.0. When
configuring the protection group and expanding system protection the only option is system state. When configuring protection on other physical servers running Windows Server 2012 I am able to select bare metal recovery. Has anyone else had this issue and
know how we can resolve this? Thank you for anyone who takes the time to lend a helping hand.

Windows server 2008 R2 is not a supported OS for a lower 2007 version. You need to install a higher version.
Hi Gordon ,
It means I have to install SAP 2007 B PL10 afterwards upgrade it to the latest patch level .
But searching in the forms , i have seen some bopdy installed the SAP 2007 B PL15 on Windows server 2008 R2.
Thanks in advance

"Network Error - 53" while trying to mount NFS share in Windows Server 2008 client

CentOS | Windows 2008
I've got a CentOS 5.5 server running nfsd. On the Windows side, I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. I have the "Files Services" server role enabled and both Client for NFS and Server for NFS are on.
I'm able to successfully connect/mount to the CentOS NFS share from other linux systems but am experiencing errors connecting to it from Windows. When I try to connect, I get the following:
C:\Users\fooadmin>mount -o anon 10.10.10.10:/share/ z:
Network Error - 53
Type 'NET HELPMSG 53' for more information.
(IP and share name have been changed to protect the innocent :-) )
Additional information:
I've verified low-level network connectivity between the Windows client and the NFS server with telnet (to the NFS on TCP/2049) so I know the port is open. I've further confirmed that inbound and outbound firewall ports are present and enabled.
I came across a
Microsoft tech note that suggested changing the "Provider Order" so "NFS Network" is above other items like Microsoft Windows Network. I changed this and restarted the NFS client - no luck.
I've confirmed that the share folder on the NFS server is readable/writable by all (777)
I've tried other variations of the mount command like: mount 10.10.10.10:/share/ z: and
mount 10.10.10.10:/share z: and mount -o anon mtype=hard \\10.10.10.10:/share * No luck.
As per the command output, I tried typing NET HELPMSG 53 but that doesn't tell me much. Just "The network path was not found".
I'm lost on how to proceed with troubleshooting. Any ideas?

There are usully two aspect that come to mind:
1. Syntax of mount command
2. Mismatch of NFS versions
Third reason is here

Unable to install SCCM client on Windows Server 2008 R2 - certificate permission error?

I am trying to comply with corporate policy, which is, have an SCCM agent or client on every Windows device. I have successfully used the provided SCCM installer on other Windows 2008 R2 servers. However for one particular server I cannot get the SCCM agent
to install successfully. I've searched forums and documentation, but can't find a solution. Part of the problem is the lack of feedback by SCCM on what is wrong. I think I have narrowed down the symptom to the following error messages from the "C:\Windows\CCM\Logs\ClientIDManagerStartup.log":
[LOG[Certificate [Thumbprint C559304C1598F17641D0732EB9EB787169A25FA7] issued to 'SMS' doesn't have private key or caller doesn't have access to private key.

When I use the Certificates MMC snap in to look at installed certs on this Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, there are plenty of normal and expected certificates there. There is also a branch called SMS with hundreds of entries, I have no idea what that is.
The above error seems to indicate a permissions issue. What do I do to fix this SCCM install? It seems like a server cert issue, not an SCCM issue, so I'm posting to the Windows Server forums.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks

this maybe helpful...

Upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi, I was trying to setup a new DC for our company, originally it's DC is Windows Server 2003 SP2, we decided not tomigrate it and instead build a new one from scratch which is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. I was able to set it up, perform windows updates,
added roles, perform Domains and Trusts, etc
When suddenly our global standards shifted to Windows Server 2012 R2, so instead of creating another server from scratch, this is the time to upgrade from 2k8 to 2K12 R2, besides the MAPtool which I've downloaded to check for prerequisites, etc, are there
other things I need to be aware of? backups? etc.
Regards,
Jeff

Migrating ADRMS from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008R2

Hi all,
I am struggling to find an answer on this, but effectively I need to replace a Windows Server 2008 (x86) server running ADRMS with one running Windows 2008 R2 (so I can't do in-place due to architecture differences). It has a separate backend on SQL 2008R2,
but what concerns me is this: "All servers added to an AD RMS cluster must be running the same
version of Windows Server as the first server in the cluster." from here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771019(v=ws.10).aspx
My plan was to:
Spin up a 2008R2 server.
Backup the ADRMS databases on SQL.
Add it (2008R2) to the existing 2008 ADRMS cluster
Repoint everything to the new 2008R2 (DNS/SCP)
Decommission the old server.
I suspect there's a stage where I need to upgrade ADRMS for the 2008R2 schema, but not quite sure where that would slot in (maybe after I add to the cluster?)
Am I on the right track here? Last thing I want to do is mess up ADRMS.
Thanks in advance.

I managed to get it working by following the steps I had mentioned above:
Spin up a 2008R2 server.
Backup the ADRMS databases on SQL.
Add it (2008R2) to the existing 2008 ADRMS cluster (it upgrades the schema at this point and the 2008 server no longer works)
Repoint everything to the new 2008R2 (DNS only) - I needed to keep the existing cluster name and you can't change the SCP
Because the customer didn't use a custom FQDN and rather used the server hostname as the URL, I ran into authentication issues, which I believe were caused by Kerberos, so I needed to manually change the priority of authentication on the _wmcs Virtual directory
in IIS to use NTLM first and then Negotiate which solved me having continually being prompted for credentials until I received an unauthorized error)
Decommission the old server.

Post upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi, I'm not sure if I've done something wrong or if i lack some steps.
We have an existing server having Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 as OS, DC, and DNS. I had to upgrade it based on global standards so I upgraded it into Windows Server 2012 R2.
What I did was an online upgrade, insert the DVD installation disc and it asked for a adprep for forest and domain.
I did both forest and domain adprep and installation continued. After reboot, it showed up errors on my local server. Please see image below:
and when i clicked each roles under Manageability, it shows me
Is there something I need to do to fix these red marks?
